Michael DeLucia was born in 1978 in the United States. His work focuses on the mass-produced object that becomes an abstract sculpture.
He starts with manufactured objects and drawings formed on the computer. The sculpture then forms a balance between what is real (the objects) and what is generated by the computer.
The work of Michael DeLucia is at the crossroads of minimal art with a close relationship between form and color as in Sol Lewitt and Ready Made of Marcel Duchamp.
The artist who worked as an assistant to Jeff Koons has moved away from this world, he gives all its importance to the material that must be cheap, the object not becoming a work of art from the start. object does not become a work of art simply because of the preciousness of the material.
Humor is very present in his work, like this bouquet of artificial roses whose stems are garden hoses, or like these brooms that are lined up like a regiment helmeted in orange or green.
For this first exhibition in Europe, Michael DeLucia will organize it as his website. He explains in an interview with Luke Stettener in 2007 how much importance young artists today give to the design of their website, which is in fact their "first personal exhibition" even before that of a gallery or museum. He would then imagine the exhibition as a catalog of his formal repertoire that should give a conceptual and visual idea of his work.
